Another maintenance edition with a few fixes. It might also help to those who still had the manual setup issue with the SP3.nLite 1.4.6
Fix: XP SP3 manual install (winnt32) issues.
Note: I read that some of you think that nLite breaks the floppy F6 method. That is not true, it is a Windows limitation, just disable the OEM Preinstall on the Unattended - General page or integrate the driver.

nLite 1.4.5 Final
Just one important thing changed, SP3 Slipstream under Vista. It would reject your valid CD-Key. Not my doing but it is fixed anyway.
So in order to fix the XP SP3 CD-Key issues remake the Slipstreamed version from scratch with this nLite version.
Update: if you are upgrading from RTM to SP3 then first slipstream SP2 if you are using Vista as a host.

SP3 build 5503/5508/5512 - nLite 1.4.5 beta 2
Some say it might be an RTM version, others to be careful because it is not yet confirmed.
Also if some hotfixes did not integrate directly that did in the older version then this one will correct that as well.
Update #2: it has been confirmed that RTM is build 5512. This nLite version works with builds 5508 and 5512 as well.

Also hotfix integration engine had some updates so more hotfixes should be supported with the direct integration, especially non-English ones.
